I was expecting so much more from Draper yesterday.

He was absolutely thrashed though by cillic who played amazingly well!

May as well get Henman out of retirement. Still not past the 2nd round for Jack which is pretty bad

Down to Kartal to bring it home

Lol it's only Draper's 3rd Wimbledon at the age of 23. He's doing just fine. Bear in mind Cilic is a former grand slam champion, so not exactly a nobody.

Who's hardly played down to serious injuries.
Slam as 11 years ago.
Draper needs to change the way he plays on grass or he's never getting far.
It was his 4th Wimbledon too, 2021 first time in main draw, was injured in 2023 and had 2 attempts at qualifying when he was younger so it's not likes he's a rookie.

Cilic is pretty much a grass court specialist - his game is perfect for it. Draper hasn't played a huge amount on grass. He'll learn and improve. The improvement in the last couple of years is huge and he's clearly got the mindset for it.

In Sonay we trust. Was 0-3 down, wins the first set 6-4.

She's doing really well isn't she?! I just hope she keeps this up as it's great!

 

[nightwish]

Absolutely flying. Didn't expect this TBH. Impressive.

 

[Alice In Wonderland]

Missed her winning but amazing and so exciting!!

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Pleased for her, she’s come across so well in all the interviews I’ve seen.

 

[Worthy]

I'm sad that Parry is out but purely for perverted reasons.

Wow, that's impressive. Flicked it on briefly at lunchtime and Parry was all over her.

Yeah I thought Parry was going to win easily and it would all to be over very quickly but Kartal just suddenly blossomed and then boom!

 

[scarps]

Norrie doing great.
Could have a decent chance in next round, Fonseca or Jarry.

 

[marc2003]

This Alcaraz match could be over if he wasn't such a spanner losing a set.

 

[Worthy]

Good start, I'm enjoying this!

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Strong start from Raducanu. I do wish Sabalenka would shut up. Sabalenka looks beatable at the moment.

 

[The_One]

Lovely break from raducanu

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Can she keep this momentum up? Playing brilliantly.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Getting outplayed a bit now.

 

[manic111]

She's looking really tight this game
